Background and Aim: Marital satisfaction is a psychological variable and considered as an individual characteristic for couples. Various factors affect marital satisfaction. Personality traits are among the most important factors affecting marital satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality traits and marital satisfaction based on five factors model of personality. Materials and Methods: In this study, we searched all Iranian and non-Iranian articles published between 2005 and 2016 in both Persian and English languages in the Sciencedirect, Web of Sience, Pubmed, SID, Magiran, Google Scholar, Iranmedex, Irandoc databases. To find relevant articles, we used the key words of "marital satisfaction", "personality characteristics", "personality factors", "five factor model of personality", willingness to accept responsibility, agreeableness, extroversion, neuroticism, openness and combination of them. Results: We found 6508 articles. The findings of the articles indicated significant negative correlation between neuroticism and marital satisfaction. But willingness to accept responsibility, extroversion, agreeableness and openness traits had positive correlation with marital satisfaction. Conclusion: Based on the results of the articles used in our study, neuroticism can affect the marital satisfaction negatively. Determination of different aspects of personality traits in the pre-marriage programs is necessary to increase the stability of marriage and family.
